At 10:01 · chapter starts 9:40
A TikTok clip of The Social Network sent Andrew back to rewatch the 2010 Fincher-Sorkin collaboration, which he declares a perfect film — Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher as a super team, not a single dull frame from beginning to end [1] — Bobby Lee "Bobby was invited to audition for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip — in the room with Aaron Sorkin himself. He passed because he couldn't face…" 10:18 . The hosts then surface news of a Facebook sequel called The Reckoning, starring Jeremy Allen White, Mikey Madison, and Jeremy Strong. Bobby pivots to his own Sorkin story: he had an actual audition for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, in the room with Sorkin himself, and walked away because he couldn't face two pages of word-for-word dialogue. He admits he probably could have handled it now. The scene captures the particular tragedy of a door you saw and chose not to open.
Andrew rewatched The Social Network and declared it has zero fat from front to back. He also reminded Bobby that a sequel called The Reckoning is in production starring Jeremy Allen White, Mikey Madison, and Jeremy Strong.
Bobby was invited to audition for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip — in the room with Aaron Sorkin himself. He passed because he couldn't face memorizing two pages of Sorkin's word-for-word dialogue. He now thinks he could have done it.
